HBCP Signals & Forecast

The Home Bancorp stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $35.73 and $35.76. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.26%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day while the price increased. This causes a divergence and may be considered as an early warning, but it may also not.

Trading Expectations (HBCP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 2nd

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 2nd we expect Home Bancorp to open at $36.33, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $34.85 and $37.19, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.17 (+/-3.26%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $35.40 (1.72%) than the resistance at $37.00 (2.72%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
